Palladian Blue
Benjamin Moore
HC-144
Palladian Blue is a historic blue-green that has been a bathroom and bedroom staple for decades, reading like sea glass with a gray veil. The green and blue sides trade prominence with the light, and it famously looks different in nearly every house it goes in. It suits spa bathrooms, sunrooms, and traditional bedrooms paired with creamy white trim.

What is the Sherwin-Williams equivalent of Palladian Blue?

Is Palladian Blue warm or cool?
Palladian Blue is cool, a blue-green with a soft gray undertone that keeps it from reading minty. Its LRV is approximately 61, light enough to keep small bathrooms airy. The color is highly light-reactive: cooler exposures emphasize blue, warmer ones bring out green. That shiftiness is part of its charm, but it means in-room sampling is essential, especially next to tile and stone with their own undertones.
Why does Palladian Blue look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #C1D1C9 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Palladian Blue have?
Palladian Blue has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 61, meaning it reflects about 61% of visible light. That places it among lighter colors that keep rooms feeling open and bright.
